Default First Flight of N495BA Completed

The aircraft flew today. It was choppy but the aircraft handled it well
The entire system was a pleasure to fly. The controls were just right.
The UL Power engine was very delightful no problems or issues.
We will be adjusting the prop for a little more pitch and installing the main gear wheel pants and cuffs.
We will be posting pictures soon.
What a great platform!
